Are Hawaiian Sea Turtles Endangered?

Hawaiian turtles are protected under the Act of Endangered Species and other federal and state laws. If a green sea turtle happens to come close to you or crosses your path, it is always best to maintain a safe distance. Make sure to stay at least 10 feet away, and don’t feed them, attempt to ride them, or harass them in any way. The most important thing to remember is that you can look, but you can’t touch.
